The Luck of the Welsh/Italian
They saw a flop, which Romanello checked. His opponent bet a cool 5,000 - over twice the pot, and over a quarter of his remaining stack. Back to Romanello, and after a pause and a rather theatrical sigh, he raised to 27,000 to cover. His opponent called all in for his last 13,500, and they flipped the cards.
Mr. Opponent: for an overpair
Romanello: for a flush
Turn:
River:
Once the newly-busted unfortunate had got up and collected his things, Romanello quietly thanked the giggling dealer. Must be nice.
Romanello is up to 50,000.
